It has been the summer of draft picks for the Boston Celtics so far. President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has been busy swinging deals and landing more draft capital.
But why? Who even cares about second-round picks, right?
Well, according to The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, Boston’s front office may be up to something, as they watch the picks pile up.
“No, the Celtics do not have a plan to start a youth movement centered on draft picks,” Himmelsbach wrote. This capital will eventually serve as currency in a larger deal, with the Celtics well-positioned for a seismic strike, league sources said.
